New Hosted Service Lets Companies Deliver Secure, Up-To-Date Business Information
As Interactive Visualizations Directly To iPhone Users;Features Real-Time Integration with Google Docs, Salesforce CRM
San Diego, CA – November 17, 2009 – MeLLmo, creators of the free Roambi iPhone app, today announced the availability of Roambi Pro, a secure, hosted service that lets companies transform their critical business data – from Microsoft Excel, Google Docs, or premium business systems like Salesforce.com – into interactive visualizations and instantly deliver them to any iPhone user. Roambi Pro is available immediately, for $99 per user per year from www.roambi.com.
Roambi Pro is designed for companies and workgroups of all sizes that need to connect mobile workers with critical business data and provide the insight necessary for on-the-go analysis, smart decision-making and impromptu presentations. As mobile devices continue to become an integral part of day-to-day business, Roambi Pro makes it easy for companies to deliver the latest information to individuals, workgroups, departments or an entire workforce through a secure, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) system.
Roambi Pro complements MeLLmo's suite of product options which include the free, online Roambi Publisher for individuals and Roambi ES, the on-premise server for enterprises.
New features available in Roambi Pro include:
- Google Docs integration – Enables Google Apps customers and Google Docs users to transform their Google Spreadsheets into stunning interactive visualizations for the iPhone.
- Live Refresh – Provides users with up-to-the-minute data from cloud services such as Google Docs and Salesforce CRM, and from Microsoft Excel, delivered directly to iPhones in real-time with the touch of a button.
- Group Accounts – Allows account administrators to centrally manage users and share data within teams and business units.
- Security – Protects valuable company data on lost or stolen devices and compromised accounts with new point-and-click security features – including the ability to disconnect a device remotely from the account either temporarily or permanently.
"For companies that prefer cloud solutions or store their business data in spreadsheets, Roambi Pro is a must to provide mobile workers with timely, accurate information they can depend on – whether in or out of the office," said Santiago Becerra, co-founder and chairman of MeLLmo, Inc. "Workers operating in an on-the-go and on-demand world will find Roambi Pro's Google Docs integration and live refresh features boost productivity and make real-time access to information simple and secure."
Mobile business for companies of all sizes
"Roambi Pro has given our mobile workforce access to up-to-date business data on their iPhones," said Ignatius Dharma, Director of I.T., Chicken of the Sea Intl. "With Roambi Pro we have real time information at our finger tips presented through a user friendly interface that our employees with iPhones can start using without training.""Recent Aberdeen research has shown us that the need to securely mobilize enterprise applications is one of the top three pressures driving investment among all respondents. MeLLmo has reset the enterprise mobile application paradigm with Roambi Pro. It's not your average enterprise app jammed into a smartphone form factor – it's a real-time enterprise data publishing system with integrated security features, user management, and cloud application functionality," said Andrew Borg, senior research analyst, Wireless & Mobility, Aberdeen Group. "Its tight integration with Google Docs lights the way for the future of cloud-based mobile data deployment – Roambi Pro is mobile business intelligence for intelligent businesses."
